Yeah, hence the huge 140Kb default project1.ico file in every Lazarus project - rather annoying, but luckily I don't really create LCL apps. ;-) > difference to *.ico is that there is a "hotpoint" declared somewhere...] I'm reading up a bit more on OS/2 Bitmap - thank goodness I kept a very old "Real-World programming for OS/2" book around. :) There are 2 OS/2 Bitmap formats, and size variations... Icons, Pointers, Bitmaps, Bitmap Array, Color Pointer etc. All in one file format - that's IBM optimization for you. :) I'm been playing with OS/2 Warp 4.5 in a VM too - damn that brought back good memories, and still features I miss in that OS that simply doesn't exist anywhere else (even in todays OSes). They should port the Workplace Shell to Linux or FreeBSD, and I'll switch in a heartbeat!
